How would working more without any more wages actually help the worker? Or do you mean the worker would receive their normal hourly wage without the "additional expense" of time-and-a-half overtime rates?
This scheme sounds insane, a recipe for slave-driving and exploitation of the worst kinds.
- jsmith0295 10y agoThe problem is that people are already getting second jobs for this very reason. People want to work more when they're only making around minimum wage, and the laws that are supposed to protect them just make that difficult. I was saying they ought to get the same hourly rate but that the time and a half pay should not be mandated as a federal law as it is now.
